Steps
Follow these step-by-step instructions to create your Pink White Chocolate–Filled Cupcakes:
1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Cupcake Pans:
Preheat your oven to the specified temperature and line your cupcake pans with paper liners.
2. Prepare the Cupcake Batter:
In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt). In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix in the dry ingredients alternately with the milk. Add pink food coloring to achieve the desired hue.
3. Make the White Chocolate Filling:
In a heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with the heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
4. Fill the Cupcake Liners:
Fill each cupcake liner halfway with the pink batter. Add a dollop of the white chocolate filling in the center, then cover with more batter until the liners are two-thirds full.
5. Bake the Cupcakes:
Place the filled cupcake pans in the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
6. Prepare the Frosting:
In a bowl, cream together powdered sugar, butter, and milk until smooth. Add pink food coloring if desired for a pop of color.
7. Frost the Cupcakes:
Once the cupcakes are cooled, frost them with the prepared frosting using a piping bag or offset spatula. Decorate as desired with sprinkles or additional white chocolate drizzle.
